La Moussiere Alphonse Mellot 2018 Sancerre






$21.24-$24.99, 90 points, was a very light brass color with yellow highlights.
First smells were apple notes rear-ended by subtle oak/vanilla, ginger ale, and a Champagne-like yeastiness.
A light crisp (acidic) white wine descriptively flavored with a tad of cream soda, apple cider, and shadowed by citrus.
Finished long on the trailing pallet, a bright 13% alcohol, and a bit of ginger.
Paired perfectly with my steamed Gulf of Maine lobster in drawn butter.

  1. Ginger on the nose and on the palate, sounds quite spicy. Good food pairing :)
